Collectively, these same participants formed smaller, collective groups to also limit competition and gain valuable resources. This idea was proven with group conflict theory in which random individuals were assigned to a group, which caused these group members to become hostile to those outside their group. It was only until all groups came together to solve a common goal, where this hostility finally ceased, and ideas of in and out-groups were less prevalent. The problem with cartels is that they are not often formed carefully, the arrangements are often broken, and often members will free-ride off of others, enjoying all the incentives while producing no work. Cartels will usually employ punishment to those who commit any of these acts.
